As more news outlets look into the story of the pair wanted for questioning by the FBI after a series of incidents on Seattle ferries, the more details start sneaking out about their odd behavior. CNN reports on the story today, and unlike the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the pictures of the two men accompany the story:
Members of the public and ferry workers reported the men to authorities after the two were seen pacing in areas of the boat, including a cargo hold, as if trying to measure distances, FBI Special Agent Larry Carr said Tuesday. The men were also seen about two months ago taking photographs of the ferries -- including restricted areas -- and studying an emergency evacuation poster.
The men were spotted on multiple ferries and ferry routes, Carr said.
Initially, in the Seattle P-I's report, the men were asking unusual questions on the one ferry. ABC's follow-up informed us that the FBI had confirmed the same two men had asked a lot of unusual questions on other ferry routes, which had prompted ferry workers to tip the FBI about the situation. Now we find out that the pair had measured distances in the cargo hold and taken pictures of restricted areas.
The two could still just be tourists with a bad sense of propriety. However, it's worth noting, as CNN does, that many photographs and plenty of video have been captured in terrorist hideouts, whose subject matter focused on major American targets. Terrorist scouts have put a lot of effort into reconnaissance over the last few years, and the pair certainly give the appearance of carrying out a similar mission in Seattle.
The Seattle P-I insisted that they felt a duty to protect the privacy of these two men. The FBI wanted to make the pictures public because "the result of not doing anything at that point in time is a ferry blowing up and thousands of people losing their lives." Which organization has their priorities more in order?
Here's the picture again:
If you have any information regarding these men, please call the FBI office near you.
One of the Seattle newspapers, The Times, did run the photo and we saw it on every ((or most) local TV stations.
Soon after 911, middle eastern men were almost apprehended taking photos and acting suspicious on a different Seattle ferry run. They ran away from the dock in Kingston, leaving behind “their” car in the ferry line. It had no license plates (tip off that they were up to no good, duh), and turned out to be stolen.
I’m not happy about these ferry stories, as I ride those ferries and so do my loved ones.
PING~~!
Ty starwise. I think we know the answer to THAT question!
Unbelievable. To not post the pictures of possible terrorist to protect their privacy is unconscionable. Just damn.
I saw this the other day - still shaking head.
Well...it’s more important to liberals and idyots to be concerned about everyone’s feelings except those who may be killed.
Incredible, isn’t it? Actually, it isn’t. It’s more incredible we haven’t yet seen another attack. I mean, it’s not like the red carpet hasn’t been thrown down for them, for years now.
You’re right. Those bassturds are going to get a lot of innocent Americans killed.
But of course they will....but, as liberals are prone to do, they will blame it on others.
Ultimately, it is up to the people to not associate with Islam - at all.
After all, They ARE using our own laws against us - why not use them to our advantage.
But hey, their liberal principles will still be intact. A lot of dead Americans but shucks, what’s a few hundred innocents compared to their principles.
Of course they are...and they laugh. The politically correct and liberals (I know, it's the same) are who will be and are responsible for current and future murders by Islamofascists and illegal aliens.
liberals don’t have principles...only lunacy.
TANKS Nic,,,seems strange to me that they would pace-off
anything when that info is is on the net,,,a search of
the ship name is all it would take...
Then why do you suppose, if that’s the case, they did this? They brought attention to themselves...maybe that’s also part of their scheming....to see how much they can get away with in broad daylight....and what reactions are, etc.
Their lunacy is their principles. Up is down, night is day and everything since Moses parted the Red Sea is a neo-con conspiracy.
Is that partly why they’re called “idyots” : )
